Library2Go Now Offers Videos, Young Adult Audio Books & Childrens Audio Books!

With the help of a $75,000 grant, the service now offers children’s books, young adult books, and videos. 934 children’s and young adult books go online along with 812 movies, 150 of which are “always available.” Remaining titles have limited checkouts, but can be put on hold by library cardholders.

 Funding comes from the Oregon State Library’s Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) competitive grant program. The grant was awarded to the Oregon Digital Library Consortium for the benefit of member libraries including Klamath County Library. Formed in 2005, Oregon Digital Library Consortium is dedicated to the goal of delivering more online services to library card holders through shared purchasing power and resources.  The ODLC is the first consortium of its kind in Oregon devoted to the electronic resource sharing needs of public libraries and currently serves 2.7 million Oregon residents.

 Library card holders at the Klamath County Library and other member libraries can access best-selling digital audio book titles, and video online. All titles are playable on a PC. Most audio book titles also can transfer to any Window’s Media Player compatible MP3 or CD for listening on the go.

 Access to the service is available 24/7 through the Library2Go link at Klamath County Library’s website http://www.klamathlibrary.plinkit.org. More information or help to get users started is available from Klamath County Library at 541-882-8897.
